Our church encourages members to fast in pray during the month of January. I decided to do a fast in hopes of hearing from God regarding our future baby. There are also a number of people whom we volunteer with that are also fasting on our behalf. What an amazing church family! So in hopes of encouraging others in a similar life situation who may read this blog, I thought it might be good to share a few things!
'Be ready at all times'
'This fast is like your wait for a child.
The longer you wait the better it will be at the end
of the wait'
Psalm 29:11
The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 30:1
...you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
Psalm 30:3
You spared me from going down into the pit
Psalm 30:4
...praise his Holy name
Psalm 31:24
Be strong and take heart
all you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 33:11
The plans of the Lord stand firm forever
For those of you unfamiliar with fasting, fasting isn't always from food. You can fast from media, games, computer time... but then replace it with spending time with God! You can get more information about fasting off our church website: http://www.mysouthland.com/
I also wanted to say a special thank you to all my friends and family with children. You guys are the best, letting me hold your babies and learning from your mistakes! Lol! Just kidding. You have and will continue to play a big part in the parent I become. I have learned so much from you! Thank you SO much!
